I have been using aqbanking with gnucash to automatically download data to my 
Mac from banks that allow directconnect for over 10 years. These days things 
that go wrong are much more likely to be banks changing something on their end 
to make the connections not compliant with ofx standards. But it also has been 
almost 10 years since I used the setup wizard, so I don’t remember much about 
it, and can’t give you useful advice.

I’d suggest making balance sheets for each year to exported.
Afterwards I would use File\Export\Transactions to CSV.
There I would select the appropriate time range.
I also would export the account structure to CSV.
In the one-year-only file I would import the account structure and  make
entries for the opening balances.
Lastly I would import the transactions from the CSV files.

Kind regards

Christian Kluge

[GNC] Splitting a multi-year file

2019-03-03 Thread Andrea Borgia
Hi.

For the past decade, I've had only a few gnucash files, not one per year:
basically, I'd create a new one when the file would be large enough at the
end of the year to notice that startup time.

If I wanted to retroactively split them by single year as I started doing
now, how could I do that? Is there a smarter way to do it other than
treating it as just another XML file and editing it manually?

Of course, I am aware that I would have to create a few transactions for
end of year closing and new year opening.

Regards,
Andrea.

Re: [GNC] I would like different Preference settings for different files, same user

2019-03-03 Thread Jeff Abrahamson
A bug was filed on this issue in November of 2007 (!).

https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493789

I've updated it to to point to this thread.  I strongly encourage those
of you who who feel that this is important to add yourselves to that bug.

I've not found documentation on how the gnucash developers prefer one
express interest.  A common technique in many communities is simply to
(create a bugzilla account on bugs.gnucash.org, then) login and add a
single comment with the text "+1".  This will express your interest to
the developers, add you to receive emails about the evolution of the
bug, and make it easy to find again (in principle, anyway).

I agree wholeheartedly, it's illogical not to be able to set different 
financial years for different sets of accounts. I have exactly the same 
problem. I keep the accounts for two organisations, one has a financial 
year ending 31st December, the other ending 31st March, so when I get 
reports for one of them I have to set the start and end dates manually.

Re: [GNC] I would like different Preference settings for different files, same user

2019-03-03 Thread Jeff Abrahamson
I'd happily +1 a bug report that it should be a book preference rather
than a user preference.  It makes no sense to me to force a user to see
the same fiscal year everywhere s/he looks but then to let multiple
users see the same book with different fiscal years.

Re: [GNC] How to set up Standing Order/Direct Debit with different first amount in GnuCash

My approach is
1. Set up the payment to suit the 2nd-and-subsequent instalments
2. Trigger the SX (maybe well before the actual due date, but so what) by 
adjusting the "create in advance" setting
3. Adjust the amnout on the resulting advance (1st) txn
4. Put the "create in advance" back to what it should be
(If the timing is right, the "create in advance" tweaks are unnecessary, 
of course.)
